analyzed its operating environment, consulted with employees and other stakeholders, and challenged itself to define a limited number of priorities for action that will guide our work and improve our service and value to children, families, and communities across Toronto in the coming three years. Please read our Strategic Plan here.
On July 20, 2008, 36 youth and 12 chaperones from CAS of Toronto went on a trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia. So(ul) Journ(ey) 2008 was a success as it met the program objectives of:
· Building and enhancing awareness of Black cultural history in Canada
· Advancing knowledge, appreciation and understanding of African-Canadian heritage
The evaluation report shows that So(ul) Journ(ey) had positive impacts well beyond the cultural learning goals. Read the full evaluation report here.
GTA Children’s Aid Societies and the Social Planning Network released a report on child poverty that shows a startling increase in the number of children living in poverty.
“Greater Trouble in Greater Toronto, Child Poverty in the GTA” reveals that 50 per cent of Ontario’s children in poverty now live in the GTA, up from 44 per cent in 1997. In the City of Toronto, all growth in the number of children living in poverty since 1997 occurred in the inner suburbs, where abysmally high rates of child poverty now surpass those of downtown.
